Eagle or thrust. Do you have any speed equips?
Gratz btw =D!
@GMSInfighter - 83 is still a tad early. You can kill gobies, no doubt about that, but the bonefish will really slow you down. It might, however, still be worth it. Try em out for an hour, clock your % gain to see what it's like.

Arrow Blow is like Energy Bolt. Only one point is needed as a stepping stone to a much better attack in the same skillbook.

AB is not really helpful, but more helpful than SA. 7 SA is 10 sec more than 20 booster. I recast them at the same time and it helps me remember to cast booster (because I usually drift off while training) while lets me fire off a couple extra shots to prepare to buff.
Arrow Blow is a fun damage dealer. =/
I have a set of speed equips (130 passive speed) that gives a decent power boost and a set of power equips (112 passive speed). I also have a hog.
Thanks Tech! =D

Where should a level 53 Crossbow train? I understand thats there a guide but many new maps have been added. Ive considered truckers but Im unsure if thats a good idea. My sin was effective there but he was more flexible. Im not funded to the max but enough. Thanks for any suggestions.

try windraiders map 1 if you have enough accuracy (there is a guide on SW)
or you can go STDs, also FoG as an old school option IF you have PKB

With 112 passive, +20 from your lvl 10 thrust, you have 132 speed, so just use a pill and dump the rest in eagle =P

Let's say I'm a 126 BM with 1 hurricane and 20 SE. Is it better to max SE or to start putting points into something else(like BE?)? I'm training at crimson guardians and money is not an issue (altho SE 30 prices are really ... atm).
Oh yeah, thanks ;]

if 112 speed is your endgame forever speed, you could just leave thrust on level 9 and use a speed pill for 140 speed and absolutely no waste =D.
the spare points could go on eagle for unfreezable monsters (crimson guardians), AB for fun or blizzard...

Depends on your way of fighting. What do you plan on dong in the future? If bossing is your path, max SE. If you plan on training more, and you can't afford SE 30, go with some bow expertness. If anything, get hurricane to 11. It just depends on what you can afford to do. It took me 250 mil ish to get max SE (when SE 20 books were 130 ish mill each and SE 30 was like 30 mil?)

Go Hurricane. SE gives me a headache. NLs won't shut the hell up when you have it, and Hurricane helps your damage a lot more.
Ask a Bowman Thread. - GMSInfighter - 2009-01-04
Thanks Technolink, I'll test it with no 2x though, so I know if it's good to train on as well.
Now I have another question regarding upgrading.
Currently I have as equips.
- 10 DEX Boots
- 25 DEX 3 STR Overall.
- 10 Attack WG
- Deputy Star
- 6 STR 4 Slot Goblin Cape
- 107/2 Dark Raven.
Now, I'm not worrying about the hat seeing as how I'm going to be fighting zakum for the helm.
I was thinking my cape? Maybe a nice 2/6+ PAC.
When I get more mesos or so I will upgrade this, and I have 80m saved for scrolling future xbows XD
*Level 83 by the way!*
Ask a Bowman Thread. - Technolink - 2009-01-04
Yea, the cape is the only weak spot there. Everything else is above average.
Also, dont' forget about earrings. The PAC will be a far better investment now, but after your next max scrolling, earrings are a nice way to grab 8+ more dex.

couple months after the release of pirates, how is the archer wagon doing?

the archer wagon has a huge band wagon of leechers that took less than 1 month to get to 130 and can already HT.

Is it a stretch to say that it's possible to train on typhons from 75 to 120? I'm getting over 50% an hour on 1x at level 75, and I expect the experience rate to increase quite significantly as I put more points into eruption and the level difference gets smaller. I don't see how any other training method (other than leeching) could even match this up to at least 100 and perhaps 120.

If you get the HP for Guardians you might want to try them but Typhons would probably be best solo rate late 3rd job otherwise.
